A research at UT Austin has explored the potential of using the "cracking" sounds emitted by coffee beans during the roasting process as the basis for an automated acoustical roast monitoring technique. Coffee roasting sounds are well known within the coffee roasting realm, but this is believed to be the first quantitative assessment of these sounds and the first suggestion to use them in an automated control process.
